Does that apply to local queries as well (for example, a mail server may easily 
make a whole lot of queries to 127.0.0.1, and rate limiting it would at the 
very least affect logging and could delay mail if the MTA cannot verify DNS.

Do these setting also need to be applied to the secondary servers?
